Description

  With his thoughts whirling at a thousand miles per hour, Wally quickly made his way down the stairs and through the barren school halls. Pushing the sense of nostalgia and a whole childhood worth of both good and terrible memories, he focused on the task at hand. Find Sky Chaser. Slowing down to a near stop, Wally looked down the darkened hallways with a sudden, eerie realization; Without Pandie, he had no way of doing that. In fact, without her knowledge of the paranormal and powers to see and speak with spirits of the dead, Wally wasn’t going to be able to accomplish anything. A sense of inadequacy swept over him as he pondered what his next steps should be.
    Wally left the only pony would could do anything on the roof while he ran like a coward. Should he go back for her? But would he say to the investigators if they asked. His ears perked as he pulled out his cell phone. If he calls Pandie, or rather Panda, as long as they can’t tell it is him, he could probably give her a reason to leave at the very least…. As long as they haven’t caught on to the scheme already.
    Pushing away the negative thoughts and worries, Wally dialed Pandie’s number and prayed she’d pick up. The blue pegasus had collapsed at some point, hidden and tucked under a tree as she rested and caught air she didn’t think she so desperately needed. Pandie was sitting in the shade listening to the sounds of the outdoors until the jingle emanating from her phone dragged her back. It took her a bit but by the third ring she picked up, not bothering to look at who it was.
Pandie: Hello…?
Wally: *clears his throat* U-um.. “Panda”?
Pandie: Wally? Where are you?
Wally: Where are you? Are you still on the roof or…
Pandie: No. I escaped and I’m sitting under a tree somewhere a little away from the school.
Wally: …. Are you okay? You sound winded.. Did something happen?!
Pandie: I just collapsed a bit after getting down. I’m fine.
Wally: C-collapsed? That doesn’t sound like you are fine.. I didn’t even think you needed to breath..
Pandie: I’ll get up and come find you..
Wally: No, I’ll come to you.. I’m almost there.
Pandie: Right. We need a new plan. The board didn’t work, and…. It’s gone. We’ll need to try to talk to Sky Chaser directly.
Wally: *under his breath* Good riddance… *clears throat* R-right. But he seemed to come to you on his own accord last time.. Why?
Pandie: He’s… *she remembers what Sky Chaser said* Mmm...he’s getting a bit more bold. Sky is playing with us a bit.
Wally: *hangs up, as he comes around the tree* That seems awfully gutsy of him…
Pandie: *jumps* S-SPIRITS! D-don’t do that!
Wally: *jumps as well* Eep! S-sorry.. I s-said I was on my way… Geez, you look awful.. I-I mean, like.. Not fine, you look anything but fine. Does shadow walking really take that much of a toll on you?
Pandie: We can worry about that later… just...cover me for now.
Wally: *looks around to make sure the coast is clear* Hrmm… Alright, so what is the plan? How do we find Sky Chaser again?
Pandie: *slowly dropping the disguised form* Simple. We walk into the school and we find him… that’s the plan.
Wally: *ears droop* Okaaaay.. and what should I do while you are looking for him?
Pandie: You’re coming with me, Walter.
Wally: Well, yeah! I’m not going to be leaving you with those investigators around… I shouldn’t have left you just now..! But, while we are looking for Sky Chaser…. I won’t be any help.
Pandie: You’re a bigger help than you think you are. You’re the only thing keeping me centered and focused right now. Our tricks aren’t working, so we will have to use the play as a way to search the school.
She turns to face him, her disguise gone. The red of her eyes now back in place, she looked as he had known her, although her hair looked a bit lighter than before.
Pandie: Once we’re in, we can search for a place to try and draw him to us.
Wally: And probably avoid June Bug.. Even though that’s probably where he is, we don’t want to put any of the kids in danger again…
Pandie: Right. So for now, we should go home, change, and meet back up a bit before the play.
Wally: *nods* Alright…. Do you.. want me to walk you home? Better to be safe than sorry..
Pandie: ...Sure. I’d like that~
    After Wally had made sure she made it to her apartment safely, Pandie had spent most of her time resting and thinking of what they were planning on doing. This was, more or less, another gamble shot, but it was the best they had in the short amount of time the two were given. Sky Chaser had managed to stomp out all other options. Now, they had nothing left but to speak and hope they were heard. After a short rest and a nice long shower, Pandie got dressed, grabbed her ticket, and headed out to meet with Wally. There was still a bit of time before the play actually started, but they needed the extra time to make sure they could reach their wayward poltergeist.
    Wally waited patiently at the designated spot for Pandie to arrive. Mulling over the events of the last few days, he couldn’t shake that feeling of inadequacy and worthlessness. There has to be something to help Pandie. Even though she says she’s fine, he can tell something isn’t right. The sooner they can put Sky Chaser to rest, the better. Wally was quickly pulled out of his thoughts when he saw Pandie approach.
Wally: *ears perk and tail wags* You look nice~ You know this isn’t going to be a fancy play, right?
Pandie: I know. But I’m hoping we can deal with Sky Chaser fast enough that we could… make up for the Las Pegasus date. *clicks her claws together*
Wally: *blushes brightly and tugs at his collar a little* Hehehe, I wish I wore something a little nicer then~
Pandie: I think you look perfectly fine..~ *looks away, cheeks turning pink*
Wally: *grins* Heh, thanks…. Well, I guess we should probably go. We have an hour to find Sky Chaser… hopefully those idiot investigators haven’t found him first…
Pandie: I hope not, but I somehow doubt that he would let himself get caught so easily.
Wally: Right…. So how are we going to find him then? We don’t have any of those fancy devices. And I doubt just roaming the halls calling his name is the most… practical choice..
Pandie: Well.. this is about as practical as my plan gets, Wally. I can’t say I fully mapped out what to do past...getting inside.
Wally: Well… I guess we take this one step at a time then.. We are good at just winging it, hehehe~
Pandie: Maybe we can find a quiet classroom or something. Something far enough away from the gathering crowd.
Wally: And hopefully us just being there is enough to encourage him to come find us? I guess it’s worth a shot..
Pandie: We’ve got nothing to lose, right? Come on…
It didn’t take long for the two of them to turn in their tickets, with the excuse of wanting to get good seats before everyone showed up. The gymnasium was sparkling clean and free of glass. The previously broken lights have all been fixed or replaced and the folding chairs were set out as well as the bleachers for additional seating. Sitting at the front entrance with a stack of brochures was a very disgruntled and pissed off looking griffon. His leg was in a cast and he a pair of crutches propped up next to him against the wall.
Cassius: ...You’re a bit...early, ain’t ya?
Wally: *ears perk* O-oh, hehe.. Yeah I guess a little. We wanted to get good seats and.. Umm.. maybe wish my sister good luck before the show starts. *looking to the side*
Cassius: Sister…? Oh. Maca.
Wally: Uh, yeah that’s her. Do you know her?
Cassius: Well I WAS the lead… til this happened. *points to his leg*
Wally: *tilts his head* … oh.. Oh! You are the kid that.. Uh… had that accident on stage. I’m sorry to hear that, uh… *as if asking for a name*
Cassius: Yeah yeah. It’s Cassius. I’m the kid that got the set piece smashed on him! That’s all I get to hear now…! *he shoves two brochures at them* Enjoy the show…. *looks away*
Wally: *ears folded back flat to his head* …… Thanks.. *as he goes inside the gymnasium* ……… What a brat..
Pandie: … I’m sure he didn’t mean it. He’s probably just still upset.
Wally: *keeping his voice down so only Pandie could hear* No, Sky Chaser. What kind of guy, dead or not, attacks a kid? He reminds of those bullies back in high school who didn’t get their way and so they had to make everyone else’s life miserable because of it.. What a jerk..
Pandie: I suppose you’re not wrong… Cassius does seem to be taking this exceptionally hard, and I can’t imagine how painful that ordeal had to have been. The set piece we saw was rather heavy. There is also all the cases outside the school…
Wally: *turns to look at her* You mean that apartment complex that caught on fire? I mean, they never found a cause for that so that could be caused by him.. And there were ponies just.. found passed out. That definitely sounds like something supernatural.. They couldn’t all have been heat stroke or dehydration…
Pandie: Uhh...well possibly, though I’m not sure about all of that… I meant the falling bookcases…
Wally: Well, yeah that’s stereotypical poltergeist behavior that you see in movies.. But who knows what other damage that… that idiot caused.
???: Excuse you..!
Pandie: Oh no….
Wally: *ears perk* And another thing--.... Oh no what? That’s not a good oh no, is it?

???: Noooooo, ya think, you big bumbling oaf. Seriously, what do you see in him, dollface?
In a swirl of mist, Sky Chaser faded into view, hovering and swirl around Wally in a menacing manner, obviously not pleased with the insults thrown in his direction.
Sky: What? You don’t see me pissing on your gravestone, buddy! I thought you were supposed to say nice things about the dead! No respect..
Pandie: Oh good spirits… no. Not here. Not...with ponies coming in. Let’s go. *grabs Wally by the shirt*
Wally: Eep! U-uh? Where are we going? Do you see something?
Sky: I’m surprised you can see anything with those Coke bottle glasses! Oh boy, I bet you can’t see a thing without them~ *as he reaches and swipes them off Wally’s face*
Wally: MMMMMMMHMHMMMM!
Pandie: That’s enough, Sky Chaser. Give them back…
Sky: *puts them on his face and goes into the hallway* Sure, if you can catch me first~
Pandie: …. *sighs*
Pandie leads Wally, stuttering and stumbling into the halls. Without his glasses, Pandie had to act as his eyes, telling him when to turn and when he may need to duck his head to avoid hitting something. Despite time, she was gonna make sure he didn’t get hurt first and foremost.
Pandie: I really do hate hide and seek…
Wally: Me too, I was always really bad at that game….. But, at least we found him, heh…
Sky: Hmhmhm that’s what you think~ *as the lights flickered at the end of the hall*
Pandie: Come on, this is almost over…
As they reached the end of the hall, they saw that the door of one of the classrooms was slightly ajar. When entering the room, it was a distinctly colder temperature than the rest of the school. Wally’s glasses were set on a desk. Sky Chaser was sitting in the chair, his ethereal hooves propped up on the desk. There was an unnaturally wide grin stretched across his ghostly pale face.
Pandie: Sky Chaser… *leads Wally over to the desk*
Wally: *reaches and picks up his glasses and puts them on…. And then cleans the frost off them before putting them back on* Sooo, Sky Chaser is here? I… take it he didn’t like what I said about him? *with a nervous grin on his face as he looked around the classroom*
Sky: *chuckles a little ominously* I don’t like getting blamed for other ponies’ actions.. but I mean, if you want to paint me as a monster, I can easily play that role~ *flicking his wrist at the door and slamming it closed behind them*
Wally: *jumps and whinnies, fur standing on end*
Pandie: He isn't wrong about the kid, Sky. That was low. Incredibly so…
Sky: *snorts* The kid had it coming. What kind of shit picks on a child when they just lost a loved one? My brother deserved the leading role. He was obviously the better pony..
Pandie: And so you found it fit to punish him by breaking his leg… or potentially killing him if that thing hit him wrong...and you see nothing wrong with this?
Sky: I didn’t mean to hurt him! I just.. wanted to scare him a little. I thought he would have just flown away or something. But he’s not dead and June is lead, as things are meant to be.
Pandie: No, they're not. It doesn't matter what you meant to do. What matters is what ACTUALLY happened. You pushed a heavy set piece onto a child. He was lucky somepony called out to him and he only broke his leg. Him not being dead isn't a pat on the back...it's luck. You got lucky your actions didn't end a young life...and for what? A play?
Sky: *stands up and slams his hands on the desk* This play means EVERYTHING to June! He wants nothing but to act and for the first time, he’s finally been recognized for all his hard work and raw talent! And I will not let my death be the reason he gives up on everything he’s worked so hard for!
Wally: *jumps a little, seeing the desk move on it’s own* …..
Pandie: That doesn't mean you can play judge and juror. There will be many Junes and many Cassius'. Maybe some of those ponies will never change, but maybe they will. You don't get to decide what happens before their lives play out. You only get to choose your own.
Sky: Pfft, like you have any room to talk about making decisions about other ponies’ lives, Little Miss Death..
Pandie: I do my job. I came to guide you. I didn't shove the drinks in your mouth, nor did I kill you. I don't choose when you die, Sky. I only help you cross over… I follow my rules. I've learned my lessons…
Wally: *gently puts his hand on her shoulder to comfort her, kind of following the one sided conversation* It took me a while to understand that too. Pandie didn’t end your or anypony’s life. That’s just nature, it was just your time to go… and now you need to accept that and move on, Sky.
Sky: *scoffs a little* I’m not taking advice from a mouth breather like him.. And I’m not leaving until I make things right.. I made a promise and I’m going to see it through, even if it did kill me…
Pandie: Do not insult him. He only speaks the truth. But…fine. If that's what it takes...we'll see your business here is finished.
Sky: Oh really? And how are you going to do that? Especially with those GhostBuster wannabes stalking the place. I was going to play a prank on them, but those little hand held devices actually work! I had to split before they could catch my trail…
Pandie: You're going to need a disguise...though a bit more...physical than appearance wise.
Sky: A disguise? Like a trench coat and sunglasses? Hahahah!
Pandie: No, you need a body.
Sky: Huh?
Wally: Huh?
Pandie: If he is going to do this without getting harrassed by the pie lover twins, he needs a body... something that can mask his energy and still allow him to see the play.
Sky: Hahaha, so you want me to go and possess some poor random schmuck? Yeah, I can see that going well! Why can’t I just jump into your body? I’ve always wondered what it would be like being inside Death~ *eyebrow waggle*
Pandie: Ugh...gross. But you're welcome to try…
Wally: *ears perk* Wait, try what? What are we trying?
Pandie stood there, facing the ethereal pony, making no move to stop him. With a snarky grin on his face, Sky flew threw the air and circled around Pandie before dive bombing and diving into her body forcefully. Pandie flinched, letting out a gasp before stumbling a bit, backing into Wally. She grit her teeth, trying to relax and let the ghost settle. That was never to be as her magic flared up, electric green sparks erupting from her before Sky Chaser was forcefully and violently thrown out of her body by an unseen force.
Pandie: URGH!!
Sky: REEEEEEE!!
Wally: *fluffs up and holds Pandie up* Pandie?! Are you okay? What happened? What did Sky do to you?
Sky: Do to her?! I didn’t even think I COULD still feel pain. Holy shit that hurt!
Pandie: Using my body..nnngh is not an option. You can't even break through my mental gates to get in.
Sky: Why do you have mental gates?! It was like barbwire and fire!! Aaugh… Fuck this, I’m not doing that again…
Wally: Whhhhy was he in your body in the first place?!
Pandie: To try and possess me, but I knew it wasn't going to work. Do you really think I could be possessed that easily? If you could do it, what makes you think some evil cur couldn't. Do you really want an uncontrollable Death Spirit running around?
Sky: Then why would you let me--.... You did that on purpose, didn’t you.. You little bitch..
Pandie: Lesson learned by trial and error. *she turns to Wally* I'm sorry. You're so out of the loop aren't you…? Heh...bet you wished you had a Detect Undead or a Talk to the Dead spell, huh?
Wally: *ears perk and his eyes sparkle* … You.. you read my Ponyfinder books? *his tail wags*
Sky: Oh gag… Before you two start getting all nerdy and start locking braces, maybe we should find a solution before those goons detect your little energy surge..
Pandie: ….And you whine about bullies...but he's right. He needs something and we've exhausted our options.
Wally: …. He.. needs a body, right? That’s what I gathered, at least……. Then use mine.
Pandie: What…? No...it's too dangerous.
Wally: *ears fold back* Is it? Because you were just willing to do it!
Sky: *hovers and slowly circles Wally* It could probably work. I doubt his head is filled with barbwire.. Probably kittens and coffee beans.
Pandie: I don't know what could happen to you...I don't want you to get hurt…
Wally: This is the only shot we have to get Sky Chaser to move on… I’ve been nothing but useless since the start of this whole adventure.. But I promised I’d help you, Pandie. If that means getting possessed by a ghost….. So be it.
Pandie: Useless…? But you're not useless at all… *she looks down* If..you're sure about this...this is your decision.
Wally: *swallows nervously* I’m not sure about anything but… I trust you, Pandie. If anything bad happens, I know you’ll be able to put things right, heh… Just.. don’t let him do anything weird with my body…
Sky: Snrk! Like what? Go streaking down the halls? I wonder if he’s ripped or just all fat under all that shirt…. *tugs at Wally’s shirt a little*
Pandie: ...I promise.
Sky: Awesome! Now that all that mushy stuff is out of the way, lets--
Apple: It came from over here! This way!
Wally: *ears perk* Oh shoot, we are out of time.. We have to hide!
Sky: Let’s hope this works!
Without a moment to lose, Sky Chaser barreled into Wally and knocked him onto the ground. Wally skidded across the floor, knocking over a desk and laid motionless on the ground, not even a breath escaping him. Pandie watched with wide eyes as Wally lay there before rushing over to kneel beside him.
Pandie: W-Wally!!!
Pumpkin: Did you hear that?! Let's go. It was down this way!
Pandie: Wally…? Wally.. come on… *tries to shake him awake* G-get up….
As the investigators closed in on their location, Wally’s eyes flashed open, but instead of green, they were a pale blue. He sat up quickly and rolled over, pinning Pandie on her back underneath him. A hand ran up on her thigh to push up the skirt as he leaned in and rather roughly pressed his lips and hips against hers, just as Apple Cinnamon opened the classroom door.
Apple: In heeEERE OH HORSEFEATHERS!
Pumpkin: What...what happen-- *Whinnies in alarm* C-Crap! S-sorry!!!
“Wally”: *holds the kiss a little longer before pulling back and looking up* … Whoops~ Looks like we were caught, hmhmhm~ Sorry boys, this room is occupied. *with a wink*
Apple: We heard a noise.. a-and followed it umm...w-what are you doing so far from the gym? T-the play is gonna start…
“Wally”: Oh is it? I guess we ran out of time, huh pudding pop~ Wouldn’t want to miss that show…… Do you think you boys can give us a little uh...privacy, while we clean up?
Pumpkin: Y...Yeah. Let's go Apple. The signal is gone anyway. *leads his flustered brother away*
“Wally”: *waits until they left and walked away some* …….. I think they are gone… you can let go of my arm now, dollface~ I mean.. Unless you want me to keep going~ *giving Pandie’s cutiemark a squeeze*
Pandie: NNngh!~ U-Unhand me!
“Wally”: Oh wow, that’s really soft.. I thought that was all padding… *squeeze squeeze*
Pandie: MMPH!! *her tail thrashes angrily before wrapping itself around him* C-cut it out!
“Wally”: Hmhmhm~ Okay okay, I’ll stop… for now~ At least I know what it takes to get Death’s panties drenched at least~ *as he sits up and looks down her*
Pandie: I have never been so...so ponyhandled in all my lives! S-Spirits...why was that your first idea?!
“Wally”: Well, it worked, didn’t it? Besides, aren’t I suppose to be your coltfriend? Don’t act like this isn’t the first time that you’ve been ponyhandled a little~ *with a grin*
Pandie: *Stares at him* … *looks away*
“Wally”:...... Oooooh, so you haven’t been giving the dog a bone? Haven’t bumped the uglies or entangling the lower beards? Wait.. Am I in a virgin?! *starts touching his chest*
Pandie: As far as I am aware…
“Wally”: Ohohoho~ We have to try something now! Oh shit.. The show is going to start, soon isn’t it… Damn priorities.. Maybe after the show, I help with your unfinished business~ *points at between her legs*
Pandie: I don't think I want YOU being the one to deflower me. Now focus on the task at hand!
“Wally”: *picks up his glasses off the ground and puts them in his shirt pocket* Yeah yeah yeah, lets just-- …. Waaaaait a tic.. Are you a virgin?!
Pandie: Why are you asking so many dumb questions?
“Wally”: *grins smugly* Hehehe, right right, whatever you say dollface~ *as he gets up and extends his hand to Pandie*
Pandie: *Stares at it… before taking it* We need to hurry though, We don’t wanna waste time. *hoists herself back up and dusts herself off*
“Wally”: Of course not! We wouldn’t want to miss the show. *as he holds the door open for her*
Pandie: And keep your hands to yourself!
“Wally”: No promises, pudding pop~ Got to keep up appearances, right? *as he put his hand on Pandie’s waist* …. Though I am curious about one thing though…
Pandie: Oh goddesses… what?
“Wally”: I just have know.. Since the dummy thicc booty is authentic, I have to know if the top is real too or if that’s just a padded bra~ *as he makes grabby hands at Pandie’s chest*
But before Sky Chaser could touch her, Wally’s body jerked and quickly turned him, smacking him straight into a locker with a loud THUD.
Pandie: I don’t think my coltfriend likes that idea…~
“Wally”: *grumbles as he stepped away from the locker, rubbing his snout* Hrmmm… I guess he isn’t just a doormat… Okay then. *stretching, getting back in control*
Pandie: Let’s just go… *turns and walks ahead*
“Wally”: *tilts his head and looks* …. Huh. Well at least we have one thing in common..
Pandie: And that is?
“Wally”: We both hate to see you go, but we love to watch you leave~
Pandie: *Whinnies* Oh goddess, Walter… *walks faster*
“Wally”: What? Has he never complimented your behind before? I need to teach this colt some proper manners! *just walks long strides to keep up*
Pandie: No, he hasn’t! He’s a proper stallion. He doesn’t gawk or catcall or whatever you call it now…
“Wally”: Pleeeease, every guy gawks… Actually, no that’s sexist. Every pony gawks! Some ponies are just more stealthy and quiet about it. But I hear those are the kinkiest in bed~
Pandie: I’m not supposed to talk about that.
“Wally”: Not suppose to talk about what?
Pandie: That. Intimacy. It makes him uncomfortable to talk about it in public...or at all..
“Wally”: … No shit, huh? Let me guess, not the type to hold hands or smooch on you in public? But gets jealous when you are seen with other guys? Hmhmhm, oh boy, I know that type well..
Pandie: We work around it. It works just fine..
“Wally”: Uh huh… you don’t seem fine with this though. In fact, if I wasn’t mistaken, you seemed to actually enjoyed my little ponyhandling back there… You want the affection, don’t you?
Pandie: ...I think I liked it better when we were just being mean to each other…
“Wally”: Oh don’t worry, I’m still being mean, but now I can be mean to both of you~
Pandie: ...I do.
“Wally”: *ears perk*.. Do what?
Pandie: I do want the affection, and to be like other couples. All I want is to be treated like a normal mare. I know I’m no,t but I’d like it. But...I also don’t want to make him uncomfortable or upset… So if this is what he wants then, I’ll live.
“Wally”: Wah wah wah, cry me a river. Look, every mare should be treated like a princess, and the fact that his sack of shit isn’t doing that is bad on him 100%... but you are also to blame too, for settling for less and not expecting more out of the relationship, you pansy ass little fuck.
Pandie: Please stop cursing. It’s ….really weird.
“Wally”: Oh sweet Celestia’s giant cunt, does this goody-two horseshoes not even cuss? I swear if he doesn’t masturbate, I’m jumping off a building and doing us both a favor..
Pandie: ...I wouldn’t know. Ask him yourself.
“Wally”: I would but he’s been yelling at me for the past 5 minutes to shut up.
Pandie: Look… I don’t know what to really expect out of this. I’ve never been with anypony because I wasn’t able to be. So excuse me if I’m stumbling my way around this. I don’t know what I’m doing.
“Wally”: Well, obviously neither does this guy………... Okay, so he does masturbate. All is right with the world……..….... Snrk! Hahahah!
Pandie: Well I’m glad one of us is satisfied.
“Wally”: Oooh, looks like someone is sleeping on the couch tonight, and it ain’t me!
Pandie: We’ll just… go home after this. He’ll go to his apartment and I go to mine. That’s it.
“Wally”: …… That sounds like a pretty definitive “That’s it.” there, missy. Look, I’m not trying to break you two up, I’m just trying to point out how ridiculous you both are acting about this. If I’ve learned anything from being dead is, little issues like this really mean nothing in the grand scheme of things. Once you are dead, that’s it.. No more second chances and no more relationships.
Pandie: I’m not breaking up with him. I don’t want to, we just don’t live together is all I’m getting at. *she sighs* But I know. I want to talk about it, but I don’t know how. And I want to be more and do more, but I don’t...know how.
“Wally”: Umm, it’s called using your words. You talk it out and come to a conclusion. If numb nuts over here can handle being possessed for a couple hours, he can handle an uncomfortable conversation just fine. Trust me, this is way more uncomfortable for the both of us.
Pandie: I suppose so. I’ll just have to talk to him I guess.. Though, I’m sure he’s already heard everything I’ve had to say…
“Wally”: Yep. Maybe you should start the conversation with when he’s gonna move your shit into his apartment? You’ve been dating for how many months now?! Time to step up and move to the next level of just awkward work buddies and move to actually having a fucking relationship….. And hopefully some fucking too~
Pandie: This is a mildly uncomfortable situation to be in right now.
“Wally”: Which part? The part where I’m talking about the inevitable amazing sex life you are going to have, or that I’m saying it with the same voice and face of the guy you are going to sit on someday?
Pandie: ...I meant the fact I am getting relationship counselling from a spirit that I’ve been chasing for spirits know how long, but BOTH of those are pretty bad too…
“Wally”: Ah yes. But when I was alive, I had plenty of relationships! I’m a solid candidate to be giving the literal embodiment of Death dating advice for I am both knowledgeable and dead. Isn’t it wonderful?
Pandie: … I have no comment.
“Wally”: … Though I feel the only painfully ironic part is that my advice just boils down to… “Get a life.” but.. well, I call them as it is. You both need to get a life and remember that if you don’t act now, you are completely wasting a perfectly good opportunity to be boning.
Pandie: Why does everything come back to sex with you?
“Wally”: Because I’m dead and can’t have it anymore, you dumb twat!
Pandie: ...Says...who?
“Wally”: ……….. Was that an invitation?
Pandie: What no! You may be wearing his face, but you’re NOT my Wally!
“Wally”: Ooohohoho~ Possessive over you big ol’ potato, aren’t you? That’s adorable~ Oh and trust me, he’s just as possessive over you. But in a more “bashing my face into a locker” type of possessive and giving intimidating glares at customers who flirt with you sort of way..
Pandie: ...He does that?
“Wally”: Apparently! He’s denying it, but I can see his memories like a Snapchat story.
Pandie: I see…~ Well. We’re here. So let’s just watch the play.
“Wally”: Aww man.. All the good seats are taken already…. *pouts*
Pandie: Guess, we’ll just have to sit in the bleachers...I think that’s the word, near the top.
“Wally”: Yaaay, nosebleed section.. Oh well, I guess that's what we get for being handsy earlier~
  After taking their seats, it wasn’t long until the performance started. A young seapony hybrid took the center stage and started narrating the age old tale of the Children of the Night, while more colts and fillies took the stage to act and tell their lines. When Maca and June Bug took the stage for the first time, Sky Chaser would smile wide and put his fingers to Wally’s lips to let out a loud whistle, causing some of the kids backstage to giggle. June’s face would turn a little pink but he’d continue on with his lines without missing a beat. Pandie would watch silently beside "Wally", enjoying the children’s rendition on one of her favorite tales. But as she did, she thought about their conversation, letting it toss about and sit in her head. Sky Chaser, as big of an asshole as he was, was right. Even though she couldn’t do it now… maybe it was time she and Wally sat and talked about things...and maybe stopped being so afraid to take those new steps. She couldn’t help but grin to herself at the thought of working on them as a couple, then just them as simply co-workers.
  After a couple hours, the play finally winded down to the dramatic conclusion, and the ever so anticipated “kiss” between Maca and June. At the last moment though, June put his hand over Maca’s mouth and kissed the back of his hand, a typical acting trick. Despite Maca’s obvious disappointment, she carried on and ended the scene flawlessly. At the final curtain call, all the actors and actresses involved took a bow and received a standing ovation.
  When the lights turned on, the families and friends in the audience were able to mingle with the students and congratulated them on their hard work. Sky Chaser and Pandie waited patiently as the gymnasium slowly emptied.
“Wally”: That was a damn good play, heh.. He really did a great job…. *watching June Bug in the distance*
Pandie: You have to go after this, remember?
“Wally”: *ears fold back* Yeah I know…… I just.. I never even got to say goodbye to him. And there he is, just standing there. I could just hug him… tell him everything is going to be okay..
Pandie: ...Now is the time to say approximately what you would say then. It’s your chance to say goodbye.
“Wally”: *nods and gets up* … Alright. And then I’ll come right back. A promise is a promise…
Sky Chaser made his way through the dwindling crowd and made his way to June Bug, having just finished talking to a teacher.
“Wally”: …. Hey, kid. You did a d-... a really good job out there tonight. *with a smile*
June: Oh.. hello Wally. Thank you. I hope you liked the show.
“Wally: Uh, yeah. I loved it, heh.. *goes down on one knee to be eye level with him* ..And I know your brother would have been proud of you. You really shined out there like a star tonight. I know one day you’ll make it big, heh~
June: Really…? Thanks~ I wish Sky could have seen it like he promised…
“Wally”: *ears fold back* …. Trust me, he was watching. If he promised, I’m sure somewhere he was watching, and he’d be so damn proud of you. Brothers never break promises.
June: Thank you, Wally. That actually is the first thing anypony has said that’s made me feel better~
“Wally”: *smiles and gently pulls June into a hug* Things will get better, you just have to keep moving forward.
June: !!! *He slowly hugs him back* Yeah.. I promise to do that.
“Wally”: Good, you better keep that promise, hehehe. From one brother to another.. *gently lets go of June* I have to go now… but you are going to be okay.
June: Ok..~ Goodbye, Wally.
“Wally”: *stands up and rustles June’s hair* I’ll see you around, Bugaboo~ *before turning to leave*
June: ….Huh…? *quickly looks up as he is walking away* How did….? S-Sky…? ...See ya around...Chasey...heh~ *He smiles really big for the first time*
“Wally”: *walks up to Pandie* …. Okay.. where do you want to do this at?
Pandie: Come, we’ll go outside behind the school. We should be safe there.
Pandie leads them both out of the school before turning the corner to head out behind the school building. It was late by now, with only some light from the town and the stars. That darkness, Pandie hoped, would give them some cover.
Pandie: Alright. You’ve taken care of everything?
“Wally”: *rubs the back of his neck* … Yeah…… What is it like, on the other side? I hate to admit it after all the shit I put you through but… I’m scared. I don’t want to just… go to sleep and wake up to nothing.. Or would I even wake up..
Pandie: It’s peaceful. There are many ponies there...many creatures. Some you lost, and maybe others you knew… There is no need for sleep, no pain… and yes… You’re free to ‘be with the ladies’ if you so please. You’re dead, not disassembled.
“Wally”: *ears perk* … That doesn’t sound too bad, heh.. *takes a few deep breaths to calm his nerves* … Alright.. I’m ready.
Pandie: Do you see that light…? *she points off in front of them*
“Wally”: *looks ahead, his eyes shimmering* Yeah, I see it… Heh, that’s all it takes huh?
Pandie: That’s all it takes. Just… leave him behind before you go..
“Wally”: *ear perk* Oh, shit! Hahaha I almost forgot. That would be bad if I took him with me~ *rubs the back of his head* Well.. I’ll see you around, dollface~ *with a wide smile*
Pandie: … See you someday…
Wally’s body gave a little jerk, as he is eyes faded to green. He stumbled back and leaned against the wall, letting out a wheeze as Sky Chaser left his body.
Wally: *slides down the wall to sit* Mmmph… Hah… i-it’s cold, hehe… *as he rubs his chest*
Pandie: Wally! Oh geez, are you ok? *rushes to his side*
Wally: *nods and starts to slow his breathing* I-I’m sorry… for everything.
Pandie:...What?
Wally: *sits up a little more to look at her* I’m sorry… I didn’t know that… I didn’t want to rush things and screw something up… but me not doing something hurt you more than just.. bumbling and making mistakes.
Pandie: I… wasn’t exactly voicing how I felt about things either. You’re not the only one who messed things up.
Wally: *gently caresses Pandie’s cheek, his hands cold* We both are bad at this, huh? But… I want to keep trying and failing if that’s what it takes. I’ll try to.. show more initiative and not care as much what other ponies think…. You are the only pony who matters.
Pandie: *places her hand over his and nuzzles into the touch* I’ll start telling you more about how I feel and what I might need in the relationship.
Wally: *smiles* And.. I’ll do my best to help fulfil those needs. Which… leads into my next question… *looking to the side nervously*
Pandie: Hmm? What’s that?
Wally: … Would you… like to move in with me?
Pandie: Ah! ...Really?
Wally: *blushes brightly* I-I mean.. Y-yeah? Unless you don’t want too.. I was just thinking… it would be a closer commute for you and… it would.. be nice to see you more. I’d very much like to see you more.. Like on an everyday basis if possible……… I need to stop talking.. *face turns bright red*
Pandie: Yes.
Wally: Huh? Y-yes, I need to stop talking or…. Yes, you’ll…
Pandie: I’d love to move in with you.
Wally: *tail wags a little behind him* Hehe, that’s.. That’s great~ Hehehe!
Pandie: We can work on it when we are free. I don’t have much to move.
Wally: *chuckles* Hehe, we’ll find room for all the books. I have plenty of room there just by myself. It will be nice to share it with somepony else.
Pandie: Yes~ It would be. *looks up at the sky* It’s late, we should get home, hmm?
Wally:....... Yeah.. about that… *looks nervously to the side* I.. might not be able to move for a bit, heheh.. That really drained a lot out of me… *with a weak chuckle*
Pandie: Oh… hmm. Well, you’re freezing too... Maybe we can just sit here while you warm up and get your strength back.
Wally: *nods* P-probably a good idea, heh.. But.. at least the stars are out tonight.. *looking up at the sky*
Pandie: Yeah, they’re quite beautiful, aren’t they? *sits beside him*
Wally: *looks over* …. I’ve seen more beautiful sights before…. B-but they do look pretty nice tonight… *gently putting an arm around Pandie*
Pandie: ...Yeah they do~ *she slowly crawls into his lap, curling her tail around him*
Wally: *blushes brightly as he wraps his arms around her gently* ….. *nuzzles the top of Pandie’s head and purrs*

Description

  With his thoughts whirling at a thousand miles per hour, Wally quickly made his way down the stairs and through the barren school halls. Pushing the sense of nostalgia and a whole childhood worth of both good and terrible memories, he focused on the task at hand. Find Sky Chaser. Slowing down to a near stop, Wally looked down the darkened hallways with a sudden, eerie realization; Without Pandie, he had no way of doing that. In fact, without her knowledge of the paranormal and powers to see and speak with spirits of the dead, Wally wasn’t going to be able to accomplish anything. A sense of inadequacy swept over him as he pondered what his next steps should be.
    Wally left the only pony would could do anything on the roof while he ran like a coward. Should he go back for her? But would he say to the investigators if they asked. His ears perked as he pulled out his cell phone. If he calls Pandie, or rather Panda, as long as they can’t tell it is him, he could probably give her a reason to leave at the very least…. As long as they haven’t caught on to the scheme already.
    Pushing away the negative thoughts and worries, Wally dialed Pandie’s number and prayed she’d pick up. The blue pegasus had collapsed at some point, hidden and tucked under a tree as she rested and caught air she didn’t think she so desperately needed. Pandie was sitting in the shade listening to the sounds of the outdoors until the jingle emanating from her phone dragged her back. It took her a bit but by the third ring she picked up, not bothering to look at who it was.
Pandie: Hello…?
Wally: *clears his throat* U-um.. “Panda”?
Pandie: Wally? Where are you?
Wally: Where are you? Are you still on the roof or…
Pandie: No. I escaped and I’m sitting under a tree somewhere a little away from the school.
Wally: …. Are you okay? You sound winded.. Did something happen?!
Pandie: I just collapsed a bit after getting down. I’m fine.
Wally: C-collapsed? That doesn’t sound like you are fine.. I didn’t even think you needed to breath..
Pandie: I’ll get up and come find you..
Wally: No, I’ll come to you.. I’m almost there.
Pandie: Right. We need a new plan. The board didn’t work, and…. It’s gone. We’ll need to try to talk to Sky Chaser directly.
Wally: *under his breath* Good riddance… *clears throat* R-right. But he seemed to come to you on his own accord last time.. Why?
Pandie: He’s… *she remembers what Sky Chaser said* Mmm...he’s getting a bit more bold. Sky is playing with us a bit.
Wally: *hangs up, as he comes around the tree* That seems awfully gutsy of him…
Pandie: *jumps* S-SPIRITS! D-don’t do that!
Wally: *jumps as well* Eep! S-sorry.. I s-said I was on my way… Geez, you look awful.. I-I mean, like.. Not fine, you look anything but fine. Does shadow walking really take that much of a toll on you?
Pandie: We can worry about that later… just...cover me for now.
Wally: *looks around to make sure the coast is clear* Hrmm… Alright, so what is the plan? How do we find Sky Chaser again?
Pandie: *slowly dropping the disguised form* Simple. We walk into the school and we find him… that’s the plan.
Wally: *ears droop* Okaaaay.. and what should I do while you are looking for him?
Pandie: You’re coming with me, Walter.
Wally: Well, yeah! I’m not going to be leaving you with those investigators around… I shouldn’t have left you just now..! But, while we are looking for Sky Chaser…. I won’t be any help.
Pandie: You’re a bigger help than you think you are. You’re the only thing keeping me centered and focused right now. Our tricks aren’t working, so we will have to use the play as a way to search the school.
She turns to face him, her disguise gone. The red of her eyes now back in place, she looked as he had known her, although her hair looked a bit lighter than before.
Pandie: Once we’re in, we can search for a place to try and draw him to us.
Wally: And probably avoid June Bug.. Even though that’s probably where he is, we don’t want to put any of the kids in danger again…
Pandie: Right. So for now, we should go home, change, and meet back up a bit before the play.
Wally: *nods* Alright…. Do you.. want me to walk you home? Better to be safe than sorry..
Pandie: ...Sure. I’d like that~
    After Wally had made sure she made it to her apartment safely, Pandie had spent most of her time resting and thinking of what they were planning on doing. This was, more or less, another gamble shot, but it was the best they had in the short amount of time the two were given. Sky Chaser had managed to stomp out all other options. Now, they had nothing left but to speak and hope they were heard. After a short rest and a nice long shower, Pandie got dressed, grabbed her ticket, and headed out to meet with Wally. There was still a bit of time before the play actually started, but they needed the extra time to make sure they could reach their wayward poltergeist.
    Wally waited patiently at the designated spot for Pandie to arrive. Mulling over the events of the last few days, he couldn’t shake that feeling of inadequacy and worthlessness. There has to be something to help Pandie. Even though she says she’s fine, he can tell something isn’t right. The sooner they can put Sky Chaser to rest, the better. Wally was quickly pulled out of his thoughts when he saw Pandie approach.
Wally: *ears perk and tail wags* You look nice~ You know this isn’t going to be a fancy play, right?
Pandie: I know. But I’m hoping we can deal with Sky Chaser fast enough that we could… make up for the Las Pegasus date. *clicks her claws together*
Wally: *blushes brightly and tugs at his collar a little* Hehehe, I wish I wore something a little nicer then~
Pandie: I think you look perfectly fine..~ *looks away, cheeks turning pink*
Wally: *grins* Heh, thanks…. Well, I guess we should probably go. We have an hour to find Sky Chaser… hopefully those idiot investigators haven’t found him first…
Pandie: I hope not, but I somehow doubt that he would let himself get caught so easily.
Wally: Right…. So how are we going to find him then? We don’t have any of those fancy devices. And I doubt just roaming the halls calling his name is the most… practical choice..
Pandie: Well.. this is about as practical as my plan gets, Wally. I can’t say I fully mapped out what to do past...getting inside.
Wally: Well… I guess we take this one step at a time then.. We are good at just winging it, hehehe~
Pandie: Maybe we can find a quiet classroom or something. Something far enough away from the gathering crowd.
Wally: And hopefully us just being there is enough to encourage him to come find us? I guess it’s worth a shot..
Pandie: We’ve got nothing to lose, right? Come on…
It didn’t take long for the two of them to turn in their tickets, with the excuse of wanting to get good seats before everyone showed up. The gymnasium was sparkling clean and free of glass. The previously broken lights have all been fixed or replaced and the folding chairs were set out as well as the bleachers for additional seating. Sitting at the front entrance with a stack of brochures was a very disgruntled and pissed off looking griffon. His leg was in a cast and he a pair of crutches propped up next to him against the wall.
Cassius: ...You’re a bit...early, ain’t ya?
Wally: *ears perk* O-oh, hehe.. Yeah I guess a little. We wanted to get good seats and.. Umm.. maybe wish my sister good luck before the show starts. *looking to the side*
Cassius: Sister…? Oh. Maca.
Wally: Uh, yeah that’s her. Do you know her?
Cassius: Well I WAS the lead… til this happened. *points to his leg*
Wally: *tilts his head* … oh.. Oh! You are the kid that.. Uh… had that accident on stage. I’m sorry to hear that, uh… *as if asking for a name*
Cassius: Yeah yeah. It’s Cassius. I’m the kid that got the set piece smashed on him! That’s all I get to hear now…! *he shoves two brochures at them* Enjoy the show…. *looks away*
Wally: *ears folded back flat to his head* …… Thanks.. *as he goes inside the gymnasium* ……… What a brat..
Pandie: … I’m sure he didn’t mean it. He’s probably just still upset.
Wally: *keeping his voice down so only Pandie could hear* No, Sky Chaser. What kind of guy, dead or not, attacks a kid? He reminds of those bullies back in high school who didn’t get their way and so they had to make everyone else’s life miserable because of it.. What a jerk..
Pandie: I suppose you’re not wrong… Cassius does seem to be taking this exceptionally hard, and I can’t imagine how painful that ordeal had to have been. The set piece we saw was rather heavy. There is also all the cases outside the school…
Wally: *turns to look at her* You mean that apartment complex that caught on fire? I mean, they never found a cause for that so that could be caused by him.. And there were ponies just.. found passed out. That definitely sounds like something supernatural.. They couldn’t all have been heat stroke or dehydration…
Pandie: Uhh...well possibly, though I’m not sure about all of that… I meant the falling bookcases…
Wally: Well, yeah that’s stereotypical poltergeist behavior that you see in movies.. But who knows what other damage that… that idiot caused.
???: Excuse you..!
Pandie: Oh no….
Wally: *ears perk* And another thing--.... Oh no what? That’s not a good oh no, is it?

???: Noooooo, ya think, you big bumbling oaf. Seriously, what do you see in him, dollface?
In a swirl of mist, Sky Chaser faded into view, hovering and swirl around Wally in a menacing manner, obviously not pleased with the insults thrown in his direction.
Sky: What? You don’t see me pissing on your gravestone, buddy! I thought you were supposed to say nice things about the dead! No respect..
Pandie: Oh good spirits… no. Not here. Not...with ponies coming in. Let’s go. *grabs Wally by the shirt*
Wally: Eep! U-uh? Where are we going? Do you see something?
Sky: I’m surprised you can see anything with those Coke bottle glasses! Oh boy, I bet you can’t see a thing without them~ *as he reaches and swipes them off Wally’s face*
Wally: MMMMMMMHMHMMMM!
Pandie: That’s enough, Sky Chaser. Give them back…
Sky: *puts them on his face and goes into the hallway* Sure, if you can catch me first~
Pandie: …. *sighs*
Pandie leads Wally, stuttering and stumbling into the halls. Without his glasses, Pandie had to act as his eyes, telling him when to turn and when he may need to duck his head to avoid hitting something. Despite time, she was gonna make sure he didn’t get hurt first and foremost.
Pandie: I really do hate hide and seek…
Wally: Me too, I was always really bad at that game….. But, at least we found him, heh…
Sky: Hmhmhm that’s what you think~ *as the lights flickered at the end of the hall*
Pandie: Come on, this is almost over…
As they reached the end of the hall, they saw that the door of one of the classrooms was slightly ajar. When entering the room, it was a distinctly colder temperature than the rest of the school. Wally’s glasses were set on a desk. Sky Chaser was sitting in the chair, his ethereal hooves propped up on the desk. There was an unnaturally wide grin stretched across his ghostly pale face.
Pandie: Sky Chaser… *leads Wally over to the desk*
Wally: *reaches and picks up his glasses and puts them on…. And then cleans the frost off them before putting them back on* Sooo, Sky Chaser is here? I… take it he didn’t like what I said about him? *with a nervous grin on his face as he looked around the classroom*
Sky: *chuckles a little ominously* I don’t like getting blamed for other ponies’ actions.. but I mean, if you want to paint me as a monster, I can easily play that role~ *flicking his wrist at the door and slamming it closed behind them*
Wally: *jumps and whinnies, fur standing on end*
Pandie: He isn't wrong about the kid, Sky. That was low. Incredibly so…
Sky: *snorts* The kid had it coming. What kind of shit picks on a child when they just lost a loved one? My brother deserved the leading role. He was obviously the better pony..
Pandie: And so you found it fit to punish him by breaking his leg… or potentially killing him if that thing hit him wrong...and you see nothing wrong with this?
Sky: I didn’t mean to hurt him! I just.. wanted to scare him a little. I thought he would have just flown away or something. But he’s not dead and June is lead, as things are meant to be.
Pandie: No, they're not. It doesn't matter what you meant to do. What matters is what ACTUALLY happened. You pushed a heavy set piece onto a child. He was lucky somepony called out to him and he only broke his leg. Him not being dead isn't a pat on the back...it's luck. You got lucky your actions didn't end a young life...and for what? A play?
Sky: *stands up and slams his hands on the desk* This play means EVERYTHING to June! He wants nothing but to act and for the first time, he’s finally been recognized for all his hard work and raw talent! And I will not let my death be the reason he gives up on everything he’s worked so hard for!
Wally: *jumps a little, seeing the desk move on it’s own* …..
Pandie: That doesn't mean you can play judge and juror. There will be many Junes and many Cassius'. Maybe some of those ponies will never change, but maybe they will. You don't get to decide what happens before their lives play out. You only get to choose your own.
Sky: Pfft, like you have any room to talk about making decisions about other ponies’ lives, Little Miss Death..
Pandie: I do my job. I came to guide you. I didn't shove the drinks in your mouth, nor did I kill you. I don't choose when you die, Sky. I only help you cross over… I follow my rules. I've learned my lessons…
Wally: *gently puts his hand on her shoulder to comfort her, kind of following the one sided conversation* It took me a while to understand that too. Pandie didn’t end your or anypony’s life. That’s just nature, it was just your time to go… and now you need to accept that and move on, Sky.
Sky: *scoffs a little* I’m not taking advice from a mouth breather like him.. And I’m not leaving until I make things right.. I made a promise and I’m going to see it through, even if it did kill me…
Pandie: Do not insult him. He only speaks the truth. But…fine. If that's what it takes...we'll see your business here is finished.
Sky: Oh really? And how are you going to do that? Especially with those GhostBuster wannabes stalking the place. I was going to play a prank on them, but those little hand held devices actually work! I had to split before they could catch my trail…
Pandie: You're going to need a disguise...though a bit more...physical than appearance wise.
Sky: A disguise? Like a trench coat and sunglasses? Hahahah!
Pandie: No, you need a body.
Sky: Huh?
Wally: Huh?
Pandie: If he is going to do this without getting harrassed by the pie lover twins, he needs a body... something that can mask his energy and still allow him to see the play.
Sky: Hahaha, so you want me to go and possess some poor random schmuck? Yeah, I can see that going well! Why can’t I just jump into your body? I’ve always wondered what it would be like being inside Death~ *eyebrow waggle*
Pandie: Ugh...gross. But you're welcome to try…
Wally: *ears perk* Wait, try what? What are we trying?
Pandie stood there, facing the ethereal pony, making no move to stop him. With a snarky grin on his face, Sky flew threw the air and circled around Pandie before dive bombing and diving into her body forcefully. Pandie flinched, letting out a gasp before stumbling a bit, backing into Wally. She grit her teeth, trying to relax and let the ghost settle. That was never to be as her magic flared up, electric green sparks erupting from her before Sky Chaser was forcefully and violently thrown out of her body by an unseen force.
Pandie: URGH!!
Sky: REEEEEEE!!
Wally: *fluffs up and holds Pandie up* Pandie?! Are you okay? What happened? What did Sky do to you?
Sky: Do to her?! I didn’t even think I COULD still feel pain. Holy shit that hurt!
Pandie: Using my body..nnngh is not an option. You can't even break through my mental gates to get in.
Sky: Why do you have mental gates?! It was like barbwire and fire!! Aaugh… Fuck this, I’m not doing that again…
Wally: Whhhhy was he in your body in the first place?!
Pandie: To try and possess me, but I knew it wasn't going to work. Do you really think I could be possessed that easily? If you could do it, what makes you think some evil cur couldn't. Do you really want an uncontrollable Death Spirit running around?
Sky: Then why would you let me--.... You did that on purpose, didn’t you.. You little bitch..
Pandie: Lesson learned by trial and error. *she turns to Wally* I'm sorry. You're so out of the loop aren't you…? Heh...bet you wished you had a Detect Undead or a Talk to the Dead spell, huh?
Wally: *ears perk and his eyes sparkle* … You.. you read my Ponyfinder books? *his tail wags*
Sky: Oh gag… Before you two start getting all nerdy and start locking braces, maybe we should find a solution before those goons detect your little energy surge..
Pandie: ….And you whine about bullies...but he's right. He needs something and we've exhausted our options.
Wally: …. He.. needs a body, right? That’s what I gathered, at least……. Then use mine.
Pandie: What…? No...it's too dangerous.
Wally: *ears fold back* Is it? Because you were just willing to do it!
Sky: *hovers and slowly circles Wally* It could probably work. I doubt his head is filled with barbwire.. Probably kittens and coffee beans.
Pandie: I don't know what could happen to you...I don't want you to get hurt…
Wally: This is the only shot we have to get Sky Chaser to move on… I’ve been nothing but useless since the start of this whole adventure.. But I promised I’d help you, Pandie. If that means getting possessed by a ghost….. So be it.
Pandie: Useless…? But you're not useless at all… *she looks down* If..you're sure about this...this is your decision.
Wally: *swallows nervously* I’m not sure about anything but… I trust you, Pandie. If anything bad happens, I know you’ll be able to put things right, heh… Just.. don’t let him do anything weird with my body…
Sky: Snrk! Like what? Go streaking down the halls? I wonder if he’s ripped or just all fat under all that shirt…. *tugs at Wally’s shirt a little*
Pandie: ...I promise.
Sky: Awesome! Now that all that mushy stuff is out of the way, lets--
Apple: It came from over here! This way!
Wally: *ears perk* Oh shoot, we are out of time.. We have to hide!
Sky: Let’s hope this works!
Without a moment to lose, Sky Chaser barreled into Wally and knocked him onto the ground. Wally skidded across the floor, knocking over a desk and laid motionless on the ground, not even a breath escaping him. Pandie watched with wide eyes as Wally lay there before rushing over to kneel beside him.
Pandie: W-Wally!!!
Pumpkin: Did you hear that?! Let's go. It was down this way!
Pandie: Wally…? Wally.. come on… *tries to shake him awake* G-get up….
As the investigators closed in on their location, Wally’s eyes flashed open, but instead of green, they were a pale blue. He sat up quickly and rolled over, pinning Pandie on her back underneath him. A hand ran up on her thigh to push up the skirt as he leaned in and rather roughly pressed his lips and hips against hers, just as Apple Cinnamon opened the classroom door.
Apple: In heeEERE OH HORSEFEATHERS!
Pumpkin: What...what happen-- *Whinnies in alarm* C-Crap! S-sorry!!!
“Wally”: *holds the kiss a little longer before pulling back and looking up* … Whoops~ Looks like we were caught, hmhmhm~ Sorry boys, this room is occupied. *with a wink*
Apple: We heard a noise.. a-and followed it umm...w-what are you doing so far from the gym? T-the play is gonna start…
“Wally”: Oh is it? I guess we ran out of time, huh pudding pop~ Wouldn’t want to miss that show…… Do you think you boys can give us a little uh...privacy, while we clean up?
Pumpkin: Y...Yeah. Let's go Apple. The signal is gone anyway. *leads his flustered brother away*
“Wally”: *waits until they left and walked away some* …….. I think they are gone… you can let go of my arm now, dollface~ I mean.. Unless you want me to keep going~ *giving Pandie’s cutiemark a squeeze*
Pandie: NNngh!~ U-Unhand me!
“Wally”: Oh wow, that’s really soft.. I thought that was all padding… *squeeze squeeze*
Pandie: MMPH!! *her tail thrashes angrily before wrapping itself around him* C-cut it out!
“Wally”: Hmhmhm~ Okay okay, I’ll stop… for now~ At least I know what it takes to get Death’s panties drenched at least~ *as he sits up and looks down her*
Pandie: I have never been so...so ponyhandled in all my lives! S-Spirits...why was that your first idea?!
“Wally”: Well, it worked, didn’t it? Besides, aren’t I suppose to be your coltfriend? Don’t act like this isn’t the first time that you’ve been ponyhandled a little~ *with a grin*
Pandie: *Stares at him* … *looks away*
“Wally”:...... Oooooh, so you haven’t been giving the dog a bone? Haven’t bumped the uglies or entangling the lower beards? Wait.. Am I in a virgin?! *starts touching his chest*
Pandie: As far as I am aware…
“Wally”: Ohohoho~ We have to try something now! Oh shit.. The show is going to start, soon isn’t it… Damn priorities.. Maybe after the show, I help with your unfinished business~ *points at between her legs*
Pandie: I don't think I want YOU being the one to deflower me. Now focus on the task at hand!
“Wally”: *picks up his glasses off the ground and puts them in his shirt pocket* Yeah yeah yeah, lets just-- …. Waaaaait a tic.. Are you a virgin?!
Pandie: Why are you asking so many dumb questions?
“Wally”: *grins smugly* Hehehe, right right, whatever you say dollface~ *as he gets up and extends his hand to Pandie*
Pandie: *Stares at it… before taking it* We need to hurry though, We don’t wanna waste time. *hoists herself back up and dusts herself off*
“Wally”: Of course not! We wouldn’t want to miss the show. *as he holds the door open for her*
Pandie: And keep your hands to yourself!
“Wally”: No promises, pudding pop~ Got to keep up appearances, right? *as he put his hand on Pandie’s waist* …. Though I am curious about one thing though…
Pandie: Oh goddesses… what?
“Wally”: I just have know.. Since the dummy thicc booty is authentic, I have to know if the top is real too or if that’s just a padded bra~ *as he makes grabby hands at Pandie’s chest*
But before Sky Chaser could touch her, Wally’s body jerked and quickly turned him, smacking him straight into a locker with a loud THUD.
Pandie: I don’t think my coltfriend likes that idea…~
“Wally”: *grumbles as he stepped away from the locker, rubbing his snout* Hrmmm… I guess he isn’t just a doormat… Okay then. *stretching, getting back in control*
Pandie: Let’s just go… *turns and walks ahead*
“Wally”: *tilts his head and looks* …. Huh. Well at least we have one thing in common..
Pandie: And that is?
“Wally”: We both hate to see you go, but we love to watch you leave~
Pandie: *Whinnies* Oh goddess, Walter… *walks faster*
“Wally”: What? Has he never complimented your behind before? I need to teach this colt some proper manners! *just walks long strides to keep up*
Pandie: No, he hasn’t! He’s a proper stallion. He doesn’t gawk or catcall or whatever you call it now…
“Wally”: Pleeeease, every guy gawks… Actually, no that’s sexist. Every pony gawks! Some ponies are just more stealthy and quiet about it. But I hear those are the kinkiest in bed~
Pandie: I’m not supposed to talk about that.
“Wally”: Not suppose to talk about what?
Pandie: That. Intimacy. It makes him uncomfortable to talk about it in public...or at all..
“Wally”: … No shit, huh? Let me guess, not the type to hold hands or smooch on you in public? But gets jealous when you are seen with other guys? Hmhmhm, oh boy, I know that type well..
Pandie: We work around it. It works just fine..
“Wally”: Uh huh… you don’t seem fine with this though. In fact, if I wasn’t mistaken, you seemed to actually enjoyed my little ponyhandling back there… You want the affection, don’t you?
Pandie: ...I think I liked it better when we were just being mean to each other…
“Wally”: Oh don’t worry, I’m still being mean, but now I can be mean to both of you~
Pandie: ...I do.
“Wally”: *ears perk*.. Do what?
Pandie: I do want the affection, and to be like other couples. All I want is to be treated like a normal mare. I know I’m no,t but I’d like it. But...I also don’t want to make him uncomfortable or upset… So if this is what he wants then, I’ll live.
“Wally”: Wah wah wah, cry me a river. Look, every mare should be treated like a princess, and the fact that his sack of shit isn’t doing that is bad on him 100%... but you are also to blame too, for settling for less and not expecting more out of the relationship, you pansy ass little fuck.
Pandie: Please stop cursing. It’s ….really weird.
“Wally”: Oh sweet Celestia’s giant cunt, does this goody-two horseshoes not even cuss? I swear if he doesn’t masturbate, I’m jumping off a building and doing us both a favor..
Pandie: ...I wouldn’t know. Ask him yourself.
“Wally”: I would but he’s been yelling at me for the past 5 minutes to shut up.
Pandie: Look… I don’t know what to really expect out of this. I’ve never been with anypony because I wasn’t able to be. So excuse me if I’m stumbling my way around this. I don’t know what I’m doing.
“Wally”: Well, obviously neither does this guy………... Okay, so he does masturbate. All is right with the world……..….... Snrk! Hahahah!
Pandie: Well I’m glad one of us is satisfied.
“Wally”: Oooh, looks like someone is sleeping on the couch tonight, and it ain’t me!
Pandie: We’ll just… go home after this. He’ll go to his apartment and I go to mine. That’s it.
“Wally”: …… That sounds like a pretty definitive “That’s it.” there, missy. Look, I’m not trying to break you two up, I’m just trying to point out how ridiculous you both are acting about this. If I’ve learned anything from being dead is, little issues like this really mean nothing in the grand scheme of things. Once you are dead, that’s it.. No more second chances and no more relationships.
Pandie: I’m not breaking up with him. I don’t want to, we just don’t live together is all I’m getting at. *she sighs* But I know. I want to talk about it, but I don’t know how. And I want to be more and do more, but I don’t...know how.
“Wally”: Umm, it’s called using your words. You talk it out and come to a conclusion. If numb nuts over here can handle being possessed for a couple hours, he can handle an uncomfortable conversation just fine. Trust me, this is way more uncomfortable for the both of us.
Pandie: I suppose so. I’ll just have to talk to him I guess.. Though, I’m sure he’s already heard everything I’ve had to say…
“Wally”: Yep. Maybe you should start the conversation with when he’s gonna move your shit into his apartment? You’ve been dating for how many months now?! Time to step up and move to the next level of just awkward work buddies and move to actually having a fucking relationship….. And hopefully some fucking too~
Pandie: This is a mildly uncomfortable situation to be in right now.
“Wally”: Which part? The part where I’m talking about the inevitable amazing sex life you are going to have, or that I’m saying it with the same voice and face of the guy you are going to sit on someday?
Pandie: ...I meant the fact I am getting relationship counselling from a spirit that I’ve been chasing for spirits know how long, but BOTH of those are pretty bad too…
“Wally”: Ah yes. But when I was alive, I had plenty of relationships! I’m a solid candidate to be giving the literal embodiment of Death dating advice for I am both knowledgeable and dead. Isn’t it wonderful?
Pandie: … I have no comment.
“Wally”: … Though I feel the only painfully ironic part is that my advice just boils down to… “Get a life.” but.. well, I call them as it is. You both need to get a life and remember that if you don’t act now, you are completely wasting a perfectly good opportunity to be boning.
Pandie: Why does everything come back to sex with you?
“Wally”: Because I’m dead and can’t have it anymore, you dumb twat!
Pandie: ...Says...who?
“Wally”: ……….. Was that an invitation?
Pandie: What no! You may be wearing his face, but you’re NOT my Wally!
“Wally”: Ooohohoho~ Possessive over you big ol’ potato, aren’t you? That’s adorable~ Oh and trust me, he’s just as possessive over you. But in a more “bashing my face into a locker” type of possessive and giving intimidating glares at customers who flirt with you sort of way..
Pandie: ...He does that?
“Wally”: Apparently! He’s denying it, but I can see his memories like a Snapchat story.
Pandie: I see…~ Well. We’re here. So let’s just watch the play.
“Wally”: Aww man.. All the good seats are taken already…. *pouts*
Pandie: Guess, we’ll just have to sit in the bleachers...I think that’s the word, near the top.
“Wally”: Yaaay, nosebleed section.. Oh well, I guess that's what we get for being handsy earlier~
  After taking their seats, it wasn’t long until the performance started. A young seapony hybrid took the center stage and started narrating the age old tale of the Children of the Night, while more colts and fillies took the stage to act and tell their lines. When Maca and June Bug took the stage for the first time, Sky Chaser would smile wide and put his fingers to Wally’s lips to let out a loud whistle, causing some of the kids backstage to giggle. June’s face would turn a little pink but he’d continue on with his lines without missing a beat. Pandie would watch silently beside "Wally", enjoying the children’s rendition on one of her favorite tales. But as she did, she thought about their conversation, letting it toss about and sit in her head. Sky Chaser, as big of an asshole as he was, was right. Even though she couldn’t do it now… maybe it was time she and Wally sat and talked about things...and maybe stopped being so afraid to take those new steps. She couldn’t help but grin to herself at the thought of working on them as a couple, then just them as simply co-workers.
  After a couple hours, the play finally winded down to the dramatic conclusion, and the ever so anticipated “kiss” between Maca and June. At the last moment though, June put his hand over Maca’s mouth and kissed the back of his hand, a typical acting trick. Despite Maca’s obvious disappointment, she carried on and ended the scene flawlessly. At the final curtain call, all the actors and actresses involved took a bow and received a standing ovation.
  When the lights turned on, the families and friends in the audience were able to mingle with the students and congratulated them on their hard work. Sky Chaser and Pandie waited patiently as the gymnasium slowly emptied.
“Wally”: That was a damn good play, heh.. He really did a great job…. *watching June Bug in the distance*
Pandie: You have to go after this, remember?
“Wally”: *ears fold back* Yeah I know…… I just.. I never even got to say goodbye to him. And there he is, just standing there. I could just hug him… tell him everything is going to be okay..
Pandie: ...Now is the time to say approximately what you would say then. It’s your chance to say goodbye.
“Wally”: *nods and gets up* … Alright. And then I’ll come right back. A promise is a promise…
Sky Chaser made his way through the dwindling crowd and made his way to June Bug, having just finished talking to a teacher.
“Wally”: …. Hey, kid. You did a d-... a really good job out there tonight. *with a smile*
June: Oh.. hello Wally. Thank you. I hope you liked the show.
“Wally: Uh, yeah. I loved it, heh.. *goes down on one knee to be eye level with him* ..And I know your brother would have been proud of you. You really shined out there like a star tonight. I know one day you’ll make it big, heh~
June: Really…? Thanks~ I wish Sky could have seen it like he promised…
“Wally”: *ears fold back* …. Trust me, he was watching. If he promised, I’m sure somewhere he was watching, and he’d be so damn proud of you. Brothers never break promises.
June: Thank you, Wally. That actually is the first thing anypony has said that’s made me feel better~
“Wally”: *smiles and gently pulls June into a hug* Things will get better, you just have to keep moving forward.
June: !!! *He slowly hugs him back* Yeah.. I promise to do that.
“Wally”: Good, you better keep that promise, hehehe. From one brother to another.. *gently lets go of June* I have to go now… but you are going to be okay.
June: Ok..~ Goodbye, Wally.
“Wally”: *stands up and rustles June’s hair* I’ll see you around, Bugaboo~ *before turning to leave*
June: ….Huh…? *quickly looks up as he is walking away* How did….? S-Sky…? ...See ya around...Chasey...heh~ *He smiles really big for the first time*
“Wally”: *walks up to Pandie* …. Okay.. where do you want to do this at?
Pandie: Come, we’ll go outside behind the school. We should be safe there.
Pandie leads them both out of the school before turning the corner to head out behind the school building. It was late by now, with only some light from the town and the stars. That darkness, Pandie hoped, would give them some cover.
Pandie: Alright. You’ve taken care of everything?
“Wally”: *rubs the back of his neck* … Yeah…… What is it like, on the other side? I hate to admit it after all the shit I put you through but… I’m scared. I don’t want to just… go to sleep and wake up to nothing.. Or would I even wake up..
Pandie: It’s peaceful. There are many ponies there...many creatures. Some you lost, and maybe others you knew… There is no need for sleep, no pain… and yes… You’re free to ‘be with the ladies’ if you so please. You’re dead, not disassembled.
“Wally”: *ears perk* … That doesn’t sound too bad, heh.. *takes a few deep breaths to calm his nerves* … Alright.. I’m ready.
Pandie: Do you see that light…? *she points off in front of them*
“Wally”: *looks ahead, his eyes shimmering* Yeah, I see it… Heh, that’s all it takes huh?
Pandie: That’s all it takes. Just… leave him behind before you go..
“Wally”: *ear perk* Oh, shit! Hahaha I almost forgot. That would be bad if I took him with me~ *rubs the back of his head* Well.. I’ll see you around, dollface~ *with a wide smile*
Pandie: … See you someday…
Wally’s body gave a little jerk, as he is eyes faded to green. He stumbled back and leaned against the wall, letting out a wheeze as Sky Chaser left his body.
Wally: *slides down the wall to sit* Mmmph… Hah… i-it’s cold, hehe… *as he rubs his chest*
Pandie: Wally! Oh geez, are you ok? *rushes to his side*
Wally: *nods and starts to slow his breathing* I-I’m sorry… for everything.
Pandie:...What?
Wally: *sits up a little more to look at her* I’m sorry… I didn’t know that… I didn’t want to rush things and screw something up… but me not doing something hurt you more than just.. bumbling and making mistakes.
Pandie: I… wasn’t exactly voicing how I felt about things either. You’re not the only one who messed things up.
Wally: *gently caresses Pandie’s cheek, his hands cold* We both are bad at this, huh? But… I want to keep trying and failing if that’s what it takes. I’ll try to.. show more initiative and not care as much what other ponies think…. You are the only pony who matters.
Pandie: *places her hand over his and nuzzles into the touch* I’ll start telling you more about how I feel and what I might need in the relationship.
Wally: *smiles* And.. I’ll do my best to help fulfil those needs. Which… leads into my next question… *looking to the side nervously*
Pandie: Hmm? What’s that?
Wally: … Would you… like to move in with me?
Pandie: Ah! ...Really?
Wally: *blushes brightly* I-I mean.. Y-yeah? Unless you don’t want too.. I was just thinking… it would be a closer commute for you and… it would.. be nice to see you more. I’d very much like to see you more.. Like on an everyday basis if possible……… I need to stop talking.. *face turns bright red*
Pandie: Yes.
Wally: Huh? Y-yes, I need to stop talking or…. Yes, you’ll…
Pandie: I’d love to move in with you.
Wally: *tail wags a little behind him* Hehe, that’s.. That’s great~ Hehehe!
Pandie: We can work on it when we are free. I don’t have much to move.
Wally: *chuckles* Hehe, we’ll find room for all the books. I have plenty of room there just by myself. It will be nice to share it with somepony else.
Pandie: Yes~ It would be. *looks up at the sky* It’s late, we should get home, hmm?
Wally:....... Yeah.. about that… *looks nervously to the side* I.. might not be able to move for a bit, heheh.. That really drained a lot out of me… *with a weak chuckle*
Pandie: Oh… hmm. Well, you’re freezing too... Maybe we can just sit here while you warm up and get your strength back.
Wally: *nods* P-probably a good idea, heh.. But.. at least the stars are out tonight.. *looking up at the sky*
Pandie: Yeah, they’re quite beautiful, aren’t they? *sits beside him*
Wally: *looks over* …. I’ve seen more beautiful sights before…. B-but they do look pretty nice tonight… *gently putting an arm around Pandie*
Pandie: ...Yeah they do~ *she slowly crawls into his lap, curling her tail around him*
Wally: *blushes brightly as he wraps his arms around her gently* ….. *nuzzles the top of Pandie’s head and purrs*
